A look at Chargers' Melvin Ingram dominance throughout the years

After signing a four-year contract worth $66 million with $42 million in guaranteed money before the 2017 season, Chargers outside linebacker Melvin Ingram’s development has been incredible as he has developed into one of the game’s best edge rushers.

It’s safe to say that the Bolts have been getting their money’s worth with the former first-rounder in 2012, who was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2018 after his great campaign.

Ingram was part of a dynamic pass-rushing duo with defensive end Joey Bosa who saw his jersey and gloves retired in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for becoming the first player in NFL history to record 19 sacks in his first 20 games. Both players are a big reason why quarterbacks fear playing Los Angeles on a weekly basis.

Ingram has worked every year at continuing to improve his technique to be among the best pass-rushers in the NFL. The 28-year-old OLB finished 2017 with 10.5 sacks, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, two passes defensed, one touchdown and 56 tackles (43 solo).
